Public bug reported:

Gnome 3 environment.
open a terminal.
launch some pdf.: evince test.pdf
Now move evince window it to another space (ctrl-alt-rightarrow)
now have a look at which windows the manager thinks are on this workspace: alt-tab. There should be just your terminal.
now relaunch the pdf:
evince test.pdf
Nothing visible happens, since the window is on another workspace.
But look at what the manager thinks: press alt-tab and you will see that the new window is apparently on the current workspace. really? so try to pick it. ie alt-tab until you choose it. now it's in focus. but invisible.  This is rong: Either it should not be listed on this workspace, or we should move to it if we select it with the window switcher.

It remains in the alt-tab listing until we visit it where it really is
(alt-ctrl-righarrow) and come back.

(I think this is bad behaviour. I have a makefile that creates and
launches a pdf, but I want it to stay on another workspace, and I want
to be able to switch between my two windows on my main workspace. So
this phantom window gets in the way, and unexpectedly.)
